I KNOW this has been asked in some form a zillion times. TV?

Nothing official has been stated. The best bet is that anyone in the Hornets region that got the Rockets on FSSW should get Hornets games now. I think that would cover most of Louisiana, there has been some question about whether parts of Mississippi would get the games.

I mean, I'm sure they know who will carry it, when, what channel #, etc by now.

Fox Sports doesn't have FSNO listed on their main web site where the regionals are listed LINK On top of that, foxsportsneworleans.com doesn't go anywhere, not even to some "Coming Soon" page. It does seem like they should be further along than they are. I wonder if rather than using existing Fox Sports resources they tried to build this whole channel from the ground up and they are running behind schedule. At this point I guess we should just hope they're ready for October 31st.

Ok, so if all goes according to plan, I'll get some questions answered about what we'll see when sometime this evening (finally). No distribution or anything.

People can always cancel, so no promises.

The better conversation is still up in the air.

Best I can do.

Hugh Weber told me flat out in response to a direct question that distribution and vroadcast quality was more important that the fee for the rights.

This was the old regime, but the problems to be resolved don't all vanish by putting pen to paper on a IOU.

By all accounts, the fee was increased only marginally from the first decade-long deal. It stands to reason they were getting that better distribution fron a network that was already being distributed thusly.

People are right to be curious, but they should ease up on the panic. It will be resolved. There is a contract.

I expect far more people to be able to see games come opening tip. I expect a few people will be negatively affected. Dems da breaks.
